What is the largest piece of artwork in the Capitol building?
The largest piece of fine art in the Capitol is Edwin Austin Abbey’s mural The Apotheosis located at the front of the House Chamber. However, by far the largest single piece of artwork is Henry Chapman Mercer’s Moravian tile floor, which spans the first floor of the Capitol. Originally the floor contained 420 mosaics representing Pennsylvania history, but now numbers approximately 375 due to the removal of some mosaics over the last century.
